Namib Desert & Sossusvlei Travel Tips

What to expect on a trip to Namib Desert & Sossusvlei

Probably one of Namibia's most-photographed features, the burnt-red towering sand dunes of Sossusvlie epitomise the stark, clear light of this desert land.

The Namib is said to be the world's most ancient desert. The Naukluft National Park encompasses an area of almost 50,000 km² (nearly 20,000 miles²) and is the largest game reserve in Africa. Besides the iconic Sossusvlei dunes, which are the tallest in the worls, the area is also know for the Sesriem Canyon, Dead Vlei and herds of stately gemsbok (oryx). Most tours to Sossusvlie leave early in the morning as the dunes are best seen in the soft morning light when shadows are long and defined. By midday, the harsh desert sun flattens the landscape into a blur of ochres, browns and fawns.
